  • Read, Write, and Print!

    Funded Aug 25, 2023

    Thank you so much for donating to my "Read, Write, and Print!" project! I am so grateful that my students will have the composition journals that is needed for science. Every child will have a journal and no one will be without. I am also grateful for the replacement toner that was desperately needed for our classroom printer.”

  • Really Good Stuff Privacy Shields!

    Funded Dec 2, 2022

    I am still in awe that my "Really Good Stuff Privacy Shields!" project request was just fully funded!

Thanks to you, we will have proper privacy shields that keep students focused and safe at the same time.”

  • Do the Science! It's All About Printing!

    Funded Dec 2, 2022

    I would like to sincerely thank you for supporting my classroom and funding my "Do the Science! It's All About Printing!" project! We always are running out of printing paper and it has been a challenge, to choose which resources not to print in order to conserve paper. Because of your kindness, we can print all the science resources needed.”

    Funded Nov 17, 2022

    Thank you ever so much for supporting and donating to my "Heavy-Duty Writing and Sharpening!" project request!

Again, you have come to the rescue and my students will have writing utensils and a heavy-duty sharpener that should last us a couple of years.”

  • MEGA Learning With the MEGA Science Lab Kits!

    Funded Dec 31, 2021

    Thank you so much for supporting my fifth-grade science students and classroom and fully funding my "MEGA Learning With the MEGA Science Lab Kits!" project request! Thanks to your generosity and kindness, each student was able to work independently with science kits they called their own. We were able to show off the completed experiments, which we placed in the science corner for the STEAM department from the district to observe. The students as well as the district's STEAM department were proud. This school year, I hope to bring this science exploration back for my new 5th-graders and give every child a kit of their own. Thank you for making a difference in their lives!”

  • Cooking and Eating Healthily Through Math & Science!

    Funded Oct 21, 2021

    I am beyond happy that you chose my class and supported my "Cooking and Eating Healthily Through Math & Science!" project request! Since we received those fantastic science and math cookbooks, my students have gone above and beyond expectations in terms of applying real-life concepts to cooking, baking, and creating foods and drink they love so well. Math and science are no longer boring subjects but rather, subjects they look forward to exploring more and more each day. Thank you for helping me bring core subjects to life!”

  • Having Fun With Finance!

    Funded Oct 22, 2021

    Again, I would like to sincerely thank you for fully funding my "Having Fun With Finance" project request! I was so ecstatic to start teaching my math students about finances, using real-life scenarios with gameplay! My 5th-grade students have been actively engaged while they are learning math, apart from the other core subjects such as language arts, and social studies. Needless to say, both my students and I are having fun while they are learning how to budget and reach their goals. Thank you for making such a huge difference!”

  • Laptop Needed for Virtual Learning and Teaching!

    Funded Dec 13, 2020

    Thank you so very much for fully funding my "Laptop Needed for Virtual Learning and Teaching!" project request! The extra mobile device has allowed me to let other/more students gain access to technology and online resources that they would have had to otherwise take turns waiting for.

    The new MacBook has many features and its speed is incredible. The graphs bring my science lessons to life and the students are motivated to excel as students are enthusiastic to present on the MacBook during the show and tell. Thank you for making a difference.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Francois

As we are embarking to be designated officially a STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) school, technology has now infiltrated every aspect of how our math and science classes are taught. After Hurricane Irma struck, most students came back with fewer supplies and less access to the tools they need to be successful. Even with limited resources, using technology in my classroom has proved to be quite a success as the students learn quickly, discover and enjoy every lesson while developing STEAM exploration, as well as analytical and critical thinking skills. I am requesting five Dell Chromebook computers, which will be used mainly for STEAM online activities. My students now need to experience actually utilizing technology on a personal "one on one" basis, to enhance their language skills as well as computer skills. Currently, my classroom is very limited in terms of technology/computers. In fact, there is only a teacher's workstation and four very ancient student workstations in my classroom. We are aiming to become a STEAM school in the upcoming school year, therefore, having our students get direct access to technology will prepare them for the near future. Your support would enhance my students' lives and expose them to using technology in our classroom.
